NEW FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS: LOUIS VUITTON RED DRESS AND OTHERS

The first fashion illustration I'm sharing today was inspired by one of the dresses from Louis Vuitton Spring 2019 Ready To Wear collection. Have you per change seen this collection? I was attracted to it instantly. This printed red dress caught my eye, so I simply had to illustrate it. This Louis Vuitton spring collection seems a step back from the classical Louis Vuitton style but I like it. It's a very eclectic collection with a mixture of modernist, futuristic and classical cuts. Dominated by white, blue and black, it also included other more vibrant colours. I spotted quite a few red accessories (and two red dresses). 

If fashion collections shown so far are anything to go by, spring fashion is going to be beautiful. I loved all of the collections I have seen so far, and I can't wait to see them all. When it comes to fashion collections, I like to take my time to browse the runaway. In addition, I always love to see a video recording and if I have time, that's what I do. Sometimes it is hard to get a good feel of the fabrics and how the clothes move just from looking at the photographs. Anyhow, if the designs I have seen so far are to judge, spring is going to be pretty exciting time for fashionistas. I can't wait! Scroll down to see more photographs of this fashion sketch as well as the photo reference.

The medium for this illustration is coloured pencils on paper. I've been trying out some new coloured pencils. I will let you know what I think of them. I also bought some watercolour pencils, but I haven't tried them out. I was also gifted some lovely pastels, so I've been experimenting with that as well. My hands hurt from so much drawing! I've kept myself busy lately. I've also made some photo collages. I always use my own photographs when I make these kind of collages. It's fun to play a bit with my illustrations like this. It also allows me to try out some ideas without using the paper. Some day I might even try digital art, but for now I'm happy to explore the more traditional art forms.

Now, it's the time my own designs. We'll start with this blue gown with a high slit. How do you like it? I drew this one with coloured pencils as well but I've also used a bit of a blue marker to create dark blue details on the dress. I think it looks cute. I wouldn't mind owning a dress like this one. Scroll down to see few more photographs of this illustrated blue dress. I also took some photographs with rhinestones because that's always fun.

Bellow you can see two fashion illustrations, both of them illustrations of purple dresses. The first one is a mixed media (coloured pencils and markers) and the second one is just coloured pencils on paper. Let me know how you like them. Would you like to see more fashion illustrations? Would you like to know how to make fashion illustrations? Would you like to know how to decorate fashion illustrations. I'm asking this because I want to know is this something I should write again, or not. What do you guys prefer? Outfit posts or fashion illustrations?





I'm obsessed with this design you can see bellow. I wish I could turn it into reality. Who knows maybe I will? I envisioned this pink and purple dress as very cozy, maybe even knitted? I'm not sure yet do I want it to be more form fitting ( a bit bodycon) or just tailored but not too tight. I wonder where I could the suitable materials. I just remember how I made one purple top from different fabrics in high school. I wish I still had it, for it was certainly cool. I think this dress would look fabulous in reality. So, I hope I can turn it into reality some day. That would be all for today. Thank you for reading and have a lovely Sunday.

    Your prints always blow me away! The resemblence is truly sureal and I love the selections from the collection you chose. I have not seen the brand's Ready to Wear collection yet, but I'm sure I will be in love with it based off your drawings. The first red one and the blue one are my two favorites. Hope you have a relaxing and creative week xx

    Ivana...you have such an amazing talent. I love how you just create your own dresses in these designs. And think about the material and how they would move.
    That blue dress with the darker detailing is absolutely marvelous. Truthfully, I think I'm drawn to it so much because it reminds me of a sweater I knitted many years ago (https://www.jtouchofstyle.com/holiday-party-outfit/)

    Ooooh I adore Louis Vuitton, this house is putting a lot of effort and creativity in order to do a revival of the brand, actually I feel like they have created a lot of interesting patterns and textures escaping from the typical pattern they used to have in the bags especially. You did such an interesting re-interpreation adding textures and gems, I know I always tell you this but adding those tiny details are so different from other illustrators and really mark a style and your personality as an artist!

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following two main timelines, one set in moder

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping. Learn how to stay away from the big shoppin

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever
